You are either a troll or one of the most hateful people I have ever met.

@Steve *******

I said you can do it legit, meaning having the 800 grand innthe bank, and just use an agent to deal with the paperwork. Whether or not it's worth the money is up to you.

@Ian ****************

you can do everything lefit and use the agent just to help with paper pushing.

"Why don't you follow through with whatyou say you'll do?"

@Dianne ****

nothing since or nothing yet? And yes, it may not change, but over 20 years I'm betting it does. If I lose that bet, no big deal. I have the money and it is worth the piece of mind.

@Mark *****

thanks. It shouldn't be a problem.

@Mark *****

they are changing visa requirements regularly these days. Who knows what will happen with the retirement visa in a few years? Remember, you have to renew it every year. With a 20 year Elite, I'm set for a good long time.

I applied for an Elite Visa last month to get in under the window. Time was closing in, so I couldn't afford it to be rejected because I made a stupid mistake. That said, my other option was a retirement visa, and I was planning to use an agent for the same reason. I'll use one to start a bank account and to get my license, again for the same reason.

@Jack ***************

no, I just find it's easier to just do the little things instead of fighting them. Some things are worth fighting, but most aren't.

seems like if they require an onward ticket your options are get an onward ticket or don't get the visa.
